Connection Before Correction

Explore The Possibilities

We know mindfulness is good for us. Mindfulness allows us to be present in our parenting, choosing the skillful response instead of succumbing to our visceral reactions. Mindfulness is also good for our kids. There is an emerging body of research that indicates that mindfulness can help our children improve their abilities to pay attention, to calm down when they are upset, and to make better decisions. In short, it helps with emotional regulation and cognitive focus. Do I even need to ask if you want that for your kids?

Emotional Resilience Workshop For Children

Overview

Mindfulness supports the social-emotional components of a high quality education, and promotes essential skills for academic /sports achievements. A growing body of research in neuroscience and psychology has shown many benefits of mindfulness, including:

  • 10 lessons over 10 weeks. Each lesson is approximately 15-20 minutes for year 5/6 students, and 30-40 minutes for year 7 and above students. (Program length, and individual session length, can be customized to meet your needs).

  • two training sessions for teachers (each approximately 30 minutes long — one at the beginning of the program and one follow-up session after program completion.)

  • workbooks with mindfulness activities for each student (K-5 grades only) — handouts provided for students grade 6 and up

  • a mindfulness manual for the classroom teacher

  • a bell for each classroom to continue mindfulness practice after the program ends

  • mindfulness manuals for parents

  • one parent meeting (held in the evening) to introduce parents to mindfulness and the Mindful Kids or Mindful Teens program, and to provide ways for families to practice mindfulness together
